How to Import a Prospect to Your Icarus Server

Updated June 10, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

A Prospect is an Icarus save world tied to a mission or session. You can import an existing Prospect .json file to your server so players resume from a saved state.

Before you start: Stop your server before uploading files. Running servers may lock files and prevent uploads from taking effect.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Use the File Manager or an FTP client to upload your Prospect .json file to: 
    ./Saved/PlayerData/DedicatedServer/Prospect/
  4. Click the Configuration Files icon.
  5. Open ServerSettings.ini using the Config Editor.
  6. Set the Last Prospect Name field to the filename of your uploaded .json file (without the .json extension).
  7. Click Save.
  8. Start the server. It will load the imported Prospect on the next session.

Troubleshooting

If the server does not load the Prospect, double-check that the Last Prospect Name value matches the filename exactly, including capitalisation. Confirm the file was placed in the correct Prospect/ directory using the File Manager.
